Thanks for the blog promos, without it I would not have known about the diverse talents that live here in blogville. I believe in the power of reciprocity. <br /><br />As far as taking a break, it's good to get away from the computer every once in a while and get some fresh air.

Then I'm going to have a lot of catching up to do when I get home.<br /><br />Judy-- Glad you've became a follower of some and at least checked the blogs out. I try to encourage the ones starting out cause I know what it's like. I hate to see burgeoning talent get discouraged and quit. You've done an amazing comeback having dealt with what you experienced. But I guess that's really the best way to do it.<br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-7113333925538993312009-12-12T17:09:01.473-08:002009-12-12T17:09:01.473-08:00Yes Lee, I've checked out several of the blogs...Yes Lee, I've checked out several of the blogs you've listed and became a follower of a few. I'm just now getting my routine back to blogging after my Dec 1st episode. For about a week, I'd lost some of my routine stamina, but I'm beginning to want to pick up the pen again, so to speak. Looking forward to tomorrow's post. I enjoyed your author interview this week. Interesting man! I do want to read some of his books!

And I want to also go back to check out the comments as the ones for the two mentioned posts also look good. That's what I strive for -- good comments that are informative or constructively critical. <br /><br />Lori -- thank you for your encouragement<br /><br />Simon -- sounds like a good idea to cross promote whenever you can. I think you do a pretty good job already and the comments you get often make me go to the blogs of those who left their comments.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-87936163277223491892009-12-12T08:33:14.037-08:002009-12-12T08:33:14.037-08:00rLEE-b ~

My Blogs r-a-gonna miss ya while u b gone.<br /><br />What will you b missing? Well, I have something I'll be posting on "STUFFS" about this little tree in the middle of a highway in the middle of nowhere that mysteriously gets decorated for Christmas every year. An' I gots pictures to include. <br /><br />And in the next week or so, I'll be posting something on "FERRET-FACED FASCIST FRIENDS" that I think you might find particularly interesting because (correct me if I'm wrong) you b livin' in da Los Angeles area. This Blog Bit will be about The Santa Monica Nativity Scenes that they put up every year along the Palisades bluffs. If you are indeed in the L.A. area then I know ya know whats I'm yakkin' 'bout 'cause it be famous. This is going on F-FFF because it has a Bit O'Political undertone to it. (The P.C. crowd wanted to see it discontinued because of that Separation Of Church And State malarkey. But I wrote some letters and they backed off. Yeah, I wield dat Kind O'Power. Ha!-Ha!)<br /><br />But these things will still be up upon yer return next year.<br /><br />IMPORTANT REMINDER: Please don't fergit to "Make A Wish For Tiny Tim" on Christmas Day! Just a penny in a glass of water will do if ya ain't near any "real" H2O. <br /><br />And... you weren't following my "STUFFS" at this time last year, so you don't know about this other tradition. But I'm lettin' ya know now: New Years Day is actually known on my Blog as "Margarita Day." It has its own theme song (penned by Yours Truly) and everything. The tradition goes back to 1986, and it is very complicated. It goes like this: Yer supposed to drink a Margarita on January 1st. Think ya can handle dat? (As with the Martini Episode, just tell yer wife that "Stephen made me do it!" Ha!)<br /><br />Yeah, rLEE, I'm full of it. Uhm... "traditions", I mean!<br /><br />Thanks again for yesterday's promotion. A couple of yer readers actually did leave a comment or two on one of my Blogs. I hope it doesn't cost me my METIBA certificate!<br /><br />Stay safe, Buddy, and we'll Yak Later. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy Margarita Day! <br />~ "Lonesome Dogg" StephenStephen T.

It's nice to take that opportunity from time to time.<br /><br />I should make that a monthly feature, instead of waiting for awards. Who needs an excuse to cross-promote?<br /><br />Make the most of your hiatus, good sir.

What an encouraging way to support others. And as you mentioned blog comments are too. I had two other posts last week about blog comments. The first was "Do Blog Comments Really Matter?" It generated a bit of discussion. And then the next post was "The Best Way to Increase Blog Comments." Not sure if you saw those posts. But they expressed my thoughts regarding blogging!Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.com
